Here are some challenging exponent and root form practice problems:

Problem Set

1. Simplify the expression: $\left(\frac{16x^8y^{12}}{4x^2y^6}\right)^{\frac{3}{4}}$

2. Solve for $x$: [ \sqrt[3]{x^4 \cdot \sqrt{x^5}} = x^3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{x} ]

3. Simplify the expression: $(2^{2/3} \cdot 4^{3/4}) \div (8^{1/3} \cdot 16^{1/2})$

4. Rewrite the expression in radical form and simplify: $(x^{5/6} \cdot y^{1/3})^2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{z^{1/4}}\right)^2$

5. Evaluate the following expression: $\left(\frac{9}{16}\right)^{3/2} \cdot \left( \frac{81}{256} \right)^{1/4}$

Tip:

When dealing with exponents and roots, remember to carefully apply the laws of exponents, such as $a^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}$, and always simplify expressions where possible before performing more complex operations.
